Britain held firm on making Kodi come to her. Young is the love of his life.
So at the beginning I thought man these alot of characters to keep up with but once I started connecting everything and everyone it wasn't so bad. The back story really helped, it was short but just enough to make you be like I get it. I think Young, Kodi and Britian were my favorites. Secret needed some growing up to do but I must admit she really did. I like Britian because she like Young home life wasn't all that but they knew the survival. Kodi is definitely crazy and I can see him acting up over Brit and Young. I need just a little more on Gemma cause I am definitely side eyeing her. Really great read!!!
This book was too good. Young had so many people walk out on him throughout his entire life, but he still made a way! Secret had her ways but I can tell that she truly loved Young. The saying what’s meant to be will be definitely showed in this book!! These characters were everything. You most definitely seen how far some would go for money and how loyalty isn’t always there from the ones you expected it from. Definitely a must read!!
Even though Secret got on my nerves I think this was a good book. I just don't feel like Secret deserved General yet he just kept accepting her back every time smh. But I'm glad he got his Rise to Fame, and made something off himself. That situation with him and Kodi now that was something I didn't see coming.
I rated this book 5 STARS because it wasn't your typical dope boy get rich book the author gave a detailed glimpse into the lives of each character and that brought the characters to life the story line itself was actually really good I'm A fan of this author so I knew she was gone bring it and that she did G.O.O.D J.O.B
Yesssss!! I love this story!! Being from Chicago, I felt the words and can visualize each character. I know that corner, I know these characters..book felt real. Can't wait for part 2.
I want more from the couples, I especially want to see Kodi& Britain! I enjoyed young and his siblings, Ginger is a bit much but all of the sisters loved their brother Young! Family over everything! I want more of Secret & Young too, Kennedi was never a friend to Secret!
I know that's right we most definitely need's more on Young & Secret and Beast show wasn't playing about Young on the rise I can only imagine how it's bought to get!
This was lit! Moving around trying to come up in the streets. That Midi was a beast! Pitting dudes against each other to take them out. All the tangled relationships is off the hook!
I was looking for something I can read quickly while waiting for some other releases. I read this in an hour. I want to hear more from Kodi and Brit. I'm sooo made Millie died! Grrrr
I am so happy for Young. He went through so much but now he is at the top. I am also happy for Britain. She finally got Kodi to be with her. I just love happy endings. I would love to read more about them. Great Read!
WOW. Great storyline. Young was just trying to survive. His hobby took him to the top and he got his big break. Looking forward to the next update in this series .
Young had it hard but he rised to the top. Gemma left her siblings like that didn't sit well with me. I can't to read a follow-up about these couples. Good read..
I loved it and I can’t wait for the next part of the book because baby I want to know what’s going to happen. I want to hear more from Secret and young.
